30 INDIANA HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS 



ject to a forfeiture of their privileges if ever found sell- 

 ing adulterated milk. Having a large number of regular 

 customers, it will be the interest of the company to sell 

 nothing but pure milk, and certainly the interest of pur- 

 chasers to buy from no other source This combination 

 would brush down dishonest dealers. The subject is 

 worthy of further thought and discussion. 



Wheat in Georgia. — I am well aware that good wheat 

 crops can be groivn in all the Southern States ; but I wish 

 to inquire of Mr. Terrell,^ how the grain can be preserved 

 from the destruction of the weevil, which so infest all the 

 country south of latitude 37° or 38°, that I have ever 

 visited? If they do not infest Georgia, and wheat can 

 be profitably grown there for "37 V^ cents a bushel," it is 

 cheaper than it can be grown upon the boasted prairie 

 lands of the West, maugre a late article in the New York 

 Journal of Commerce, asserting that it can be grown for 

 16 cents ! Mr. Terrell is an observing and interesting cor- 

 respondent ; but I would recommend to him to take great 

 care that his observations made while travelling by rail- 

 road, are not erroneous. We have too many railroad 

 travellers' publications now-a-days. His observation upon 

 the true policy of the South to raise her own provisions, 

 is worthy of all credit, and should be much more gener- 

 ally practised. But when that becomes the case, several 

 of the North-western States will feel the loss of a home 

 market, and at the same time learn that they have no 

 foreign one. [Dear Reviewer, don't be so certain of that 

 fact, otherwise we fear we shall be obliged to suspect you 

 as one of the Editors of the New York Tribune.] 



Drovers' Dogs. — This cut is not quite "as clear as 

 mud," though somewhat muddy; for to us unlearnt in 

 dogology, we are not able to distinguish "Boxer" from 

 "Rose," and therefore it is not so interesting as 



Domestic Fish-Ponds, with its clear, beautiful illustra- 

 tions, and very lucid description, by an excellent writer, 

 whose new work upon the "Trees of America," I will read 



' William Terrell, of Sparta, Georgia.
